If you have been listening to Talk****e and reading the papers over the past week, you would have thought Joe Allen was Xavi. Lucas was playing yesterday as well, wasnít he one of the reasons Liverpool struggled last season, missed whatever he brought? Looked like the same middle of the road player he was/is yesterday. Rodgers will presumably be looking for a centre half as well, canít have Carragher feature in the upcoming games, was owned by Lukaku.
